MARILYN CORNWELL: Marilyn's Photos - Aug 25 2025

Thanks to the CBC for today's strange scavenger hunt story. The headline is "Mission couple finds missing wedding rings in landfill" and the subtitle "Movie date ends with search for diamonds in the dump"

The story goes that they realized the rings had gone to the organic waste at the MIssion Sanitary Landfill. This was the result of watching a movie at the IMAX theatre, buying a big bag of popcorn, spilling it when they got home, cleaning it back up into the bag, eating the rest, throwing out the bag and then realizing the rings were missing a day later, after the organic waste had gone to the dump. Assumption: rings in the bag.

Next scene takes place at the dump to meet with the excavator to scoop up the piles that have to be looked through. It went quickly. Popcorn bag found, then rings found. Startlingly fast. I guess very lucky given the location.

The story's conclusion? "Steve and Jeannine were relieved."

So ends a Canadian True Story.

Gerry's car got a ceramic coating treatment last week, so we went out to take some photos to show off the shine. The location is Peninsula Ridge Winery.
